THE ROUNDUP

A Trippy Regulator, A military Pilot's Watch, and Watch Roll Upgrades We’re Loving

Windup Watch Shop - January 25, 2026

Welcome to The Roundup, Windup Watch Shop’s semi-weekly curation of watches, EDC, and accessories. From "Value-Packed Picks" to our "Deal of the Week," we’ve found the best gear so you don’t have to. Don't forget you can stop by our Brooklyn Showroom to check any of these items out in person! 

TREAT YOURSELF

The Louis Erard x Worn & Wound Regulator is about more than telling time—it’s about presence. Designed as a fresh expression within the regulator format, this collaboration leans into color, depth, and motion to create something truly singular. A layered display places skeletonized hour and seconds discs beneath a floating cobalt-blue minute dial, delivering a look that’s dynamic, legible, and unmistakably its own.

Three dial layers and crisp detailing bring the watch to life, housed in a polished 39mm steel case that wears comfortably on a pebbled taupe leather strap. Power comes from the Swiss-made Sellita SW266-1 automatic movement with a custom rotor, keeping things mechanically sound beneath the expressive design. Limited to just 99 pieces, this is a regulator that balances artistry and precision—available to shop now, so don't wait to treat yo self!

VALUE PICK

The AVI‑8 CVRT 3775A is a compact, purpose-built automatic tool watch that brings real performance to everyday wear for just $450. Blending field, pilot, and dive-inspired cues, it focuses on straightforward legibility and practicality with a matte black dial, raised C3 Super-LumiNova numerals, and a discreet date window under a flat sapphire crystal. A hard-coated steel case with 100 meters water resistance and a four o’clock crown make this a true everyday instrument rather than a delicate desk piece.

Sized at a balanced 37.75mm wide and 11mm thick, the CVRT wears comfortably on a wide range of wrists, and the included rubber and nylon mil-straps ensure versatility right out of the box. Inside, a reliable Miyota 9015 automatic movement keeps things honest with hacking, hand winding, and a 42-hour reserve. That combination of specs, comfort, and tool-ready toughness is exactly why it’s our Value Pick in The Roundup: you’re getting excellent mechanical performance, meaningful everyday features, and thoughtful design at a price point that genuinely overdelivers.

NOT ANOTHER WATCH!

The Tropical Retro Style FKM Rubber Quick Release Watch Straps is an easy, high-impact way to elevate the watches you already love without adding another timepiece. Built from soft, durable FKM rubber with a retro perforated “tropical” pattern, this strap is lightweight, flexible, and ready for daily wear whether you’re hitting the pool or heading out for a long summer day. Integrated quick-release spring bars make strap changes fast and tool-free, letting you shift styles in seconds while keeping comfort and performance front of mind.

At about $35, this strap strikes a lot of value for a subtle yet meaningful upgrade to your collection. The material resists water, sweat, and heat while the classic tropical aesthetic bridges vintage dive style and modern versatility, making it a natural fit on everything from sporty watches to travel pieces. That blend of comfort, versatility, and visual character is exactly why it earns our pick for curious collectors looking for a cool accessory that complements the watches they already wear.

UPGRADE YOUR EDC

The Buttero Leather Watch Roll is a premium storage and travel solution that’s perfect for enthusiasts who want to elevate how they carry and protect their watches. Handcrafted from Italian vegetable-tanned Buttero leather and finished with a waterproof suede lining, this roll houses up to four wristwatches plus a spring bar tool in snug, protective pockets. Triple-stitched openings, burnished edges, and an Italian marine bronze buckle strap give it a refined, timeless feel that only gets better with age as the leather develops its own patina.

Priced at $175, it’s as much a functional piece of everyday carry as it is a statement accessory for your collection. Whether you’re traveling or just organizing at home, this watch roll keeps your pieces secure and accessible, marrying craftsmanship with practicality. That thoughtful blend of utility and style is why it’s our “Upgrade Your EDC” pick — a simple addition that meaningfully improves how you curate and carry the watches you love.

DEAL OF THE WEEK

The Waltham A‑17 Pilot NATO Green on Leather – Green Dial is a heritage-inspired pilot’s watch that channels classic military aviation design with modern build quality. A clean, highly legible green dial and purposeful case proportions make this piece feel like a true instrument — ready for daily wear or weekend adventures. Built around a Swiss automatic movement with a domed sapphire crystal and solid water resistance, it stays faithful to the A-17’s robust legacy while offering practicality for today.

Right now, this A-17 is marked down to $669 from its original ~$1,450+ range — a meaningful drop that boosts its appeal even further. That combination of aviation heritage, solid mechanical performance, and a standout price is exactly why it earns our “Deal of the Week” pick: you’re getting a serious automatic pilot’s watch with real character at a price that’s hard to beat.
